Maybe the new year will bring enlightenment for me in regards to this photo. Um, nope.

Figured I would give this another look now that I am a little older. Still sucks.

3 years later and I've learned to appreciate this picture. Just kidding. This sucks.

Well, it's been a few years, so I thought I would come back to this now that you are an award winning photographer to see if I can finally get this picture. Nope, still don't.

Now that you've won your fourth blue ribbon I was thinking this may have gotten better. Maybe I just didn't look at it with an artistic eye before... and guess what? It still sucks.

SHAZAM!

It has been almost a year since I've looked at this and I think it might be starting to grow on me... like a wart on my face!

I like to go back and look at some of the pictures I have commented on in the past, but I think I will stop doing that now that I've had to look at this piece of dung twice. Thanks for ruining it for me.

Pity that something interrupts the bottom of the reflection. Maybe it would be better cropped at that point. Is cropping allowed?

the image seems a bit static as if the use of long exposure here did not really add much impact or energy
